AJ Smith-Shawver has an estimated 2 years and 80 days of major league service time — 2.080 in the notation clubs use, from 424 days credited on a major league roster.
| Season | Club | Days | Running total | How this season is known |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Atlanta Braves | 36 | 0.036 | From transactions |
| 2024 | Atlanta Braves | 48 | 0.084 | From transactions |
| 2025 | Atlanta Braves | 172 | 1.084 | From transactions |
| 2026 | Atlanta Braves | 168 | 2.080 | From transactions |
172 days credit a full year, so a season adds at most 1.000 no matter how long a player is on a roster. 3.000 years reaches salary arbitration and 6.000 reaches free agency —
what every threshold unlocks.
